Redfern Limited commenced business on 1 July 2019 and sells high-quality video recorders for $1,500 each with a two-year labour and parts warranty. Experience shows:

• 82% of video recorders do not require repairs.
• 7% require minor repairs (costing $120 per unit) in the first year of sale date.
• 1% require major repairs (costing $750 per unit) in the first year of sale date.
• 8% require minor repairs (costing $160 per unit) in the second year of sale date.
• 2% require major repairs (costing $740 per unit) in the second year of sale date.

Accounting records show:

• 2,800 video recorders were sold during the year ending 30 June 2020 and ending inventory as at 30 June 2020 comprised 600 video recorders.
• 3,200 video recorders were sold during the year ending 30 June 2021 and ending inventory as at 30 June 2021 comprised 800 video recorders.

It is assumed that the expenditure on all repairs occurs at the end of each accounting period (i.e., 30 June) and the risk-free discount rate for both years (based on government bonds) was 5% for one-year bonds and 6% for two-year bonds.

• 110 video recorders required minor repairs at $120 per unit.
